A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with compact counters and strongly bracketed serifs that read as sturdy wedges. Strokes show a clear calligraphic bias, with thicker downstrokes and sharpened joins that create a slightly chiseled rhythm. The lowercase features lively, rounded forms and occasional ball-like terminals, while the caps are broad and firm with pronounced slab feet and tops. Overall spacing feels generous and the texture is dense, producing a dark, emphatic color on the page.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and brand marks where a strong, slanted slab presence is desirable. It will also work well for packaging and promotional graphics that need bold readability and a distinctive, vintage-leaning voice.
The tone is assertive and energetic, mixing classic print tradition with a playful, display-forward swagger. It carries a retro editorial flavor—bold, attention-seeking, and slightly theatrical—without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a traditional slab-serif foundation, combining strong serifs and a pronounced italic gesture to create a dynamic, display-oriented texture.
Diagonal letters (A, K, V, W, X, Y) emphasize the italic motion, and the numerals appear sturdy with curved, weighty forms. Small details at joins and terminals add a faint "inked" character that helps large sizes feel lively rather than purely mechanical.
